Ste Walker is from the UK but his story is not unique. Every day millions around the world suffer like Ste from Crohn’s or Colitis. For those of us in the US we rely on the support, research, and access the CCFA gives us. Will you support us by making a donation now?

Doctors are important with these diseases. I see my GI several times a year and that’s just 1 of my many doctors. The CCFA helped me locate my current GI; who happens an expert on Crohn’s. For doctors (and Pas) they hold conferences to discuss treatments, symptoms, and experiences in order to help those caretakers grow and become better at what they do.

The CCFA supports researchers trying to fund treatments and cures to these diseases. One of my former medications, Remicade, was approved because of the CCFA. They are working on finding links with how microbes affect these diseases. And they are working on genetics research to find how therapy might help.

Camp oasis is a hugely important resource provided by the CCFA. As more and more people get diagnosed with Crohn’s and colitis we’re seeing the age of those getting diagnosed getting younger and younger. Camp Oasis supports the children around the country during the summer and shows them that they are not alone when battling these lifelong diseases.
